Fair enough.  For now, I keep it for GCC 16.  Adding _Lengthof now to
GCC 15 may jeopardize my attempt to rename it in Graz, so I'll play my
cards.  If I see survey results that don't seem good for my renaming
attempts, I may reconsider and send _Lengthof next week; but for now I
have some hope.  :-)

BTW, I'm nevertheless going to rebase my patch, to test with the changes
that Martin did to arrays of 0 elements.  I may send another revision of
the _Countof patch set, just for having it in the list, but you can just
ignore it.

Have a lovely night!
Alex
